Out of the 15 strains of molds, the growth of Eurotium repens and Eurotium rubrum was pre-vented by 2.0% ethanol solution but all cultures showed only reduction of growth at this con-centration. Eurotium rubrum and Eurotium repens also had the lowest MIC of 2.5 to 3.0% re-spectively. The genus Eurotium species were most sensitive to all level of combinations of salmine sulfate with ethanol used in the present study. However, a substantial reduction in viability of all the organisms occured when treated with the mixture of salmine sulfate with ethanol compared with ethanol alone. Of the various levels of combinations, 0.05% salmine sulfate plus 5.0% ethanol inhibited most of the organisms, and all the organisms were inhibited by 0.1% salmine sulfate plus 6.0% ethanol, whereas, 8.0% ethanol was necessary for total growth inhibition. The effect of the mixture of salmine sulfate with ethanol on the survivability of the organisms was greater in Eurotium ruburm than Eurotium repens with approximately 31og cycles reduction by 12 hincubation period.
